MMDA General Manager Procopio Lipana said they presented traffic plans to the traffic officials of Cainta, Antipolo, Marikina, and Pasig following the monstrous traffic jam along the Marcos Highway over the weekend that went viral on social media.

“We presented possible measures to prevent a repeat of the incident through coordinated traffic management strategies,” said Lipana.

A massive traffic jam along Marcos Highway occurred on Saturday due to the large volume of vehicles and counterflowing vehicles.
